As a graphic designer, I notice text and letterform. The mere alteration of a font changes the shape a letter takes, which can influence its meaning and make one feel differently about the words she is reading.
Comic Sans is a design faux pas. I can guarantee that you have all seen this casual, non-connecting script typeface adorning Beanie Baby tags, children's coloring books, and other personally-published signs/documents. Comic Sans is bad-- poorly-designed and over-used. Upon venturing into downtown Skopelos, I discovered that the Greeks have adapted Comic Sans to fit their alphabet. The world is now complete with Comic Sans lambdas and sigmas.
